What is there that has not already been said about To Kill a Mockingbird? Nothing, probably, which means any further reviews and comments will simple be repeats. Including mine.
I fell in love with Atticus, Jem and Scout, especially Atticus. And it made me sad to think I admired a fictional character to that extend. He has all the qualities one should aim at having.
I don't understand why it took me so long to read this classic in the same way I fail to understand why the author did not write any more novels (apart from the sequel that came out last summer). With her beautiful command of written words, one can only feel upset because she denied us of more of her stories. Bu then, again, in an Atticusly manner, we don't concentrate on the negative but on the very positive of her first outcome. Thank you, Ms Lee.

“It’s not necessary to tell all you know. It’s not ladylike—in the second place, folks don’t like to have somebody around knowin‘ more than they do. It aggravates ’em. You’re not gonna change any of them by talkin‘ right, they’ve got to want to learn themselves, and when they don’t want to learn there’s nothing you can do but keep your mouth shut or talk their language.”...Continua Nascondi

I wanted you to see what real courage is, instead of getting the idea that courage is a man with a gun in his hand. It’s when you know you’re licked before you begin but you begin anyway and you see it through no matter what. You rarely winch.11
I wanted you to see what real courage is, instead of getting the idea that courage is a man with a gun in his hand. It’s when you know you’re licked before you begin but you begin anyway and you see it through no matter what. You rarely win, but sometimes you do. Mrs. Dubose won, all ninety-eight pounds of her. According to her views, she died beholden to nothing and nobody. She was the bravest person I ever knew.”...Continua Nascondi

“nigger-lover is just one of those terms that don’t mean anything—like snot-nose. It’s hard to explain—ignorant, trashy people use it when they think somebody’s favoring Negroes over and above themselves. It’s slipped into usage with some people like ourselves, when they want a common, ugly term to label somebody.”

"Simply by the nature of the work, every lawyer gets at least one case in his lifetime that affects him personally. This one’s mine, I guess. You might hear some ugly talk about it at school, but do one thing for me if you will: you just hold your head high and keep those fists down. No matter what anybody says to you, don’t you let ‘em get your goat. Try fighting with your head for a change… it’s a good one, even if it does resist learning."...Continua Nascondi
